Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information Collection Activity-Customer Satisfaction Surveys
In the February 25, 2005 Federal Register (70 FR 9275), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) (PRA), to announce the agency's intention to seek extension of its PRA approval to conduct surveys to determine the kind and quality of services CPSC customers want and customers' level of satisfaction with existing services. The Commission now announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of approval of that collection of information. The Commission received one comment stating that the CPSC should obtain all requested information at the initial contact without any additional follow up on customer satisfaction. For most of the CPSC programs, it is not possible to interview the customer regarding customer satisfaction at the time of initial contact because the requested service may not yet have been performed or completed. In those circumstances, customer satisfaction may only be assessed through follow up contact after the implementation of the CPSC program. CPSC will use the information it obtains in these surveys to improve its work on behalf of the American public. In addition, the CPSC Office of Planning and Evaluation will use information from the surveys to prepare sections of the agency's annual Performance and Accountability report (required by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)). This information will provide measures of the quality and effectiveness of agency efforts related to three goals in its strategic plan (informing the public, industry services, and customer satisfaction). In the past, information from these surveys has shown an overall high level of customer satisfaction. If this information is not periodically collected, the CPSC would not have useful measures of its effectiveness in reaching consumers and others, and the information necessary to guide program development and improvement would not be available. The Commission would be unable to measure its ability to meet identified GPRA goals. CPSC will collect this information in several ways, such as using telephone interviews, as well as mail and web-based questionnaires. Up to 6 customer surveys or information collection activities a year would be conducted using this clearance.

L. 108-136). Section 1431 enacts Governmentwide authority to treat performance-based contracts or task orders for services as commercial items if certain conditions are met, and requires agencies to report on performance- based contracts or task orders awarded using this authority.

Federal Acquisition Regulation; Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by revising the cost principles for Deferred compensation other than pensions, and Postretirement benefits other than pensions. The related contract clause, Reversion or Adjustment of Plans for Postretirement Benefits (PRB) Other Than Pensions, is also revised. The rule revises the cost principle and contract clause by improving clarity and structure, and removing unnecessary and duplicative language. The revisions are intended to revise contract cost principles and procedures, in light of the evolution of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the advent of Acquisition Reform, and experience gained from implementation of the cost principles in the FAR.
Federal Acquisition Regulation; Gains and Losses
The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed on a final rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by revising the contract cost principles for Gains and losses on disposition or impairment of depreciable property or other capital assets, Depreciation costs, and Rental costs. The final rule adds language to specifically address the gain or loss recognition of sale and leaseback transactions to be consistent with the date at which a contractor begins to incur an obligation for lease or rental costs. A date for recognition of gain or loss associated with sale and leaseback transactions was previously undefined within the cost principles. In addition, revised language is also added to recognize that an adjustment to the lease/rental cost limitations are required to ensure that the total costs associated with the use of the subject assets do not exceed the constructive costs of ownership.
